Hi David.
The software is the MCP2000 software which is the memory control package
that is a free download from Kenwood. It can be used to both program the
memories and to set the menus, and with it and a good screen reader such as
JAWS or Window-Eyes, the radio is 100% accessible. You will need a cable
with a DB9 female connector on each end. The cable is a straight through
cable, so don't let anyone try to sell you a null modem cable. The cable
is available in the states from Radio Shack, among other sources.
